Well at least he's set himself up for a great run in NWA now. He can be the reason they don't get their next TV deal.

Now if knocking out a few Russian data centres has almost silenced the right wing outrage machine, ask yourself, what kind of absolute shite are our governments going to put through our own centres they're desperately building everywhere?

Max Caster getting the boot from TNA after one match by upsetting the blood money brigade is definitely the most Max Caster thing of the year so far. You've got 2 months left to top it, we believe in you Max!

The thing people forget when bitching endlessly about the amount of mini games in the FF7 remakes is that they're completely optional. No one is forcing you to raise chocobos. No one is making you do pull ups (thank god.) Don't like it? Just do the main story and stop moaning.

Just for a moment I thought this was a gag about how you can now see the prices on a map because they're so large. But hey ho, what's more tinkering around the edges rather than using that huge parliamentary majority for massive structural reform eh?

There's two sides to this. One is that Vance and co are racists who think all non-white people are bad. Two is that in this day and age a global company does not NEED to have people in its American offices. It can easily open in other countries or work remotely. So both suck, just not equally.

Of course they'll now use this loss to lever Polanski out and get a safe replacement in that people like Lucas approve of, who will ignore the membership and let it decline because it doesn't upset any vested interests, just like with Corbyn, because none of the other mud stuck.

The BBC interviewed Sam Journet and failed to ask him why the portfolio holder for children refused to do a DBS check or about all the awful shit swirling around his role in Basildon council and just let him blame the Tories for something he's been in charge of for 6 months but didn't know about.

Peak 2026 achieved, no Epstein files released. No dodgy right wingers arrested for all their dodgier donations. But the BBC are going on raids with the police against people who are pretending to be gay to avoid getting deported. Working the hard cases once again.

No it isn't, we at least not for Kemikaze because the Tories don't have any viable ideas. They have lies and fake promises. They have zero self reflection or accountability for their last time in office. They have culture war bollocks. That's it.

I'm not particularly techy but I do love seeing these vibe coders getting rinsed out by people who actually know what they're doing - and how across the board it is with emulators and mod designers just going "Oh, you got Claude to write some code? Good for you, now off you fuck back into your box."

I've heard a lot of nice talk from Labour recently. And I'd dearly love to see it transfer into action that means more than saving about £50 a year when bills have gone up by £100's.

Can't say I'm surprised the guardian is still trotting this kind of shit out. And when they can't stay afloat due to people not wanting to sub to a paper that subs itself to a genocidal regime they'll moan left wing media can't survive in this country because people won't support it enough.

It's why I have opted out of my company's AI training and usage sessions and policies, I've made it very clear that for a supposed creative marketing agency it's a disaster waiting to happen, but these people need to fail hard before they'll learn you can't cut every corner.
